## The chart

**Where in Bookalyze:** Accounting → Chart of accounts

Tabs for assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses, grouped by kind, with each account's balance. Codes run from 1000 to 6000.

- **Add an account** with what it's for, a name and an optional code. A bank, card or cash account can have its own currency.
- **Edit** the name or code. **Archive** one you no longer use; its history stays.
- You can also add a category from any category dropdown.

> **Caution:** Give a bank, card or cash account the currency the bank holds. Changing it later doesn't convert the amounts already in it.

- [How payouts post to your books](https://bookalyze.com/guides/how-payouts-post.md): Choose an account for each kind of money (sales, refunds, fees, ads, tax, held back) and a clearing or balance account for the payout, pick the day posting starts, then post by hand or automatically. The same idea for Amazon, Walmart, Noon and eBay.
